Meanwhile our client only need webview to port their website to app, and then complaint about performance.

Thanks very much for this video. I hate it when I'm referred to as a frontend developer

Android development is the best way to learn full stack

I Love that Kotlin hoody. Could you share a link or info. Where did you get it, please 🙏 ❤

[vibovitold]

I've never heard anyone claim otherwise, to be fair

[un-ro]

I also got this debate when doing interview 🤣

[Ba_Dashi]

When did "frontend" become synonymous with "browsers"? If it's user facing, it's a frontend. Whether its a CLI, a mobile app, a game or a website.

Saying that something is or isn't something else without defining either things is just dumb.

Also most of this list can be akin to browser apis anyway. Indexeddb, local storage, cookies, webgl, service workers, the myriads of apis for interacting with hardware(even webusb is a thing); not to mention that "battery" and "memory" management also exist in browser apps, and they are just as ignored in mobile apps. Offline first web apps are also a thing, and offline mode is very much ignored equally by mobile apps. And at the end "app store deployment" is just as like hosting a website or web app with a bunch of complexities moved elsewhere.

Browser and mobile development are fairly similar, and trying to separate those concepts only limits your ability as a developer. Look for the similarities instead of creating dichotomy where none exists.

If it is user facing it’s frontend, the job just differs depending what you’re doing.

[shanureddy]

True. But most of the apps today function only through the internet. With a matured cloud where you can cache data near to user, it became a trend where everything is thrown to the cloud and fetched with APIs. Hate it or love it, It's going to be treated as frontend in the coming future.

Hi Philipp, I am Hariharan from India.
I inspired by you and choose the field the Android app development. I wish to learn new things. Can you teach the some backend codes and methods used for Android app development. Thanks in Advance

But you do UI that interacts with a user... At the end you are a front end dev too

Where can I find your "How to test an app" course? I really want to know how to test eficiently and professionally.

Finally, i am able to execute my .jar file that contains the main class in which it depends on other .jar file.

java -cp 'main.jar:dependency.jar' com.example.project.MainKt

This way i can avoid gradle, because sometimes when want to build, it give s so many errors.

Sometimes it doesn't even include kotlin standard library.

I disagree about SQL, it is Antiquated pre 1980's there are better solutions like Realm!

[fluffybunny]

A mobile developer absolutely doesn't need to no sql, why would ?, you are going to run a database from app itself ?.

Everything is api driven so no need to impliment database directly
